[b]Members of a six-man gang of suspected robbers, who terrorised residents of Akute and Ajuwon in Ogun state, have confessed how their juju failed them on the day they were arrested.[/b]The suspects, Olalekan Lamidi, Taiwo Odunsi, Olawale Idowu, Sunday Femi, Akeem Ogunbiyi and Fatai Onimisi, P.M.NEWS investigation revealed, operated mostly on six motorcycles (okada). They were arrested the day they stormed the residence of Mrs. Fabolude Jimoh, of 21, Fabolude Bus Stop, Akute, Ojodu Road in Ogun state and nine other houses. They robbed the occupants of the houses at gun point.

Sources said a leader of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) who tried to arrest them was shot several times by the robbers in the course of the operation, but that the man escaped unhurt while the robbers later fled with their loot. They were, however, trailed to their hideout at Ijoko, Ogun state, where they were arrested. The police found in their possession a locally made gun with an empty shell, 12 live cartridges, two laptops and other items they stole. The two Bajaj motorcycles with registration numbers AV 504 AAA and OG 606 KSF they used for the operation were also recovered.

Speaking with P.M.NEWS, one of the robbers, Taiwo Odunsi, said: “It’s painful that all these juju prepared for us by a herbalist in Lagos state have failed to protect us. We coughed out N380,000 for them and yet the police arrested us.” The case was later transferred to Eleweran Police Command, Ogun state, where the suspects were charged to court and sent to prison. The Commissioner of Police in charge of the Ogun state Command, Alhaji Hashimu Salihu Argungu, who confirmed the arrest, advised the public to always volunteer useful information to the police on how to combat criminal activities in their areas. The command spokesperson, ASP Muyiwa Adejobi, also confirmed the arrest and arraignment of the suspect.

Anini spirit.

If they are stupid enough to rely on voodoo to carry out their robberies, instead of making a proper plan of their missions, then they deserve to be shot to be honest.

Priceless!

Blind reliance on magic inspires suicidal behavior by robbers, which can be very beneficial indeed, to law enforcement efforts. I have heard of Nigerian armed robbery gangs getting instantly cut to pieces by police gunfire simply because the robbers, confident that they were well "fortified" with entirely worthless juju talismans, felt no need to take cover during engagements with responding police officers.

Jolly good show, as the British would say.
